I've been running a lot latley -- w/ my $9 running shoes I bought at a gas station.

I'm thinking about upgrading.

Hello. My (screen) name is Statler. When I am unhappy I eat unhealthy foods and drink like a fish.

Update!

I can now take a few steps without any support annddd
my vicodin/lack of mobility diet has actually got me down to 174 pounds.

11 pounds in the last month. Granted, most of the weight came from my legs which are now half the size they were.

Still, getting lower then 175 was one of my goals this year, not the best way to do it, but I'll take it.

As of tomorrow I've got the okay to start putting weight on my left leg again. From there on it, it's off to the races.

Right on! Glad to hear you're making progress.

I had a milestone moment today. One of my good friends invited me to have lunch with him. Instead of indulging in a big lunch (likely followed by a game of foosball with his office mates), I turned down the offer and went to workout at the gym instead.

I can't remember the last time I opted to go to the gym instead of indulging in an expense-account lunch.

Well, I'm down 60lbs from my start a little less than a year ago.
I guess that makes me at 60% of my goal.

I have a 10 mile race this Sunday... Hopefully I can keep up the pace. I did sub 1hour 20 minutes last year. Not feeling as strong, but I hope not to be too far off pace? Good job to everyone on here bustin butt

El Matador taught me how to erg today - he was a complete Nazi about it and now I feel like Jammen probably has more body mobility than I do right now
